For some reason, the tricolored herons seem to be the last birds to nest at the bird rookery at Gatorland. Maybe they take over great egret nests once they are finished using them. There were a few nests that had older babies including the ones above.
Some were just a few days old.
Some of the older ones still being fed by parents.
These triplets, who were growing up in a nest on a palm tree right up against the boardwalk, were pretty funny to watch. They are so comical at this age. These were all taken during my last visit in late May.
What wonderful pictures of the tricolored herons!
What little clowns.😊
It’s hard to imagine such gangly chicks evolving into graceful herons! I loved these shots.
